Walk
by A. Nicholas Martin
During my walk with myself...
I saw a heron glide into the water;
I could hear you.
I saw the moon in half it's glory;
I could smell you.
I saw the wind push past the branches of a tree;
I could touch you.
I saw a butterfly take flight from a blade of grass;
I could feel you.
I saw a number of fledgling ducks sleeping;
I could taste you.
I saw the clouds in a rush to get somewhere;
I could understand you.
I saw a mound of ants working away;
I could respect you.
I saw an elderly couple walking and talking about life;
and I knew...
I could...
No.
I do...
love you.
